Answer:
x + y = 50 (1) and 2x + 3y = 115 (2); x = 35, y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Since x represents the number of 2 point shots and y represents the number of 3 point shots. If the total number of shots is 50, then x + y = 50 (1)
Also, the total 2 point shots is number of 2 point shots × points per shot = 2x and the total 3 point shots is number of 3 point shots × points per shot = 3y. Since the total number of points is 115, then
2x + 3y = 115 (2)
So, the system of equations are
x + y = 50 (1) and 2x + 3y = 115 (2)
We can solve for x and y by substituting x = 50 - y into (2)
So, 2(50 - y) + 3y = 115
100 - 2y + 3y = 115
100 + y = 115
y = 115 - 100
y = 15
So, x = 50 - y
= 50 - 15
= 35
(You forgot to add the question, but I guess you want to know the mass of the turkey for 14 people :p )
By hypothesis, 1 lb = 450g. Adam wants that each of the 14 person, get 3/4 lb. Let x be the mass of 3/4 lb in grams, using the rule of three:
1 lb --> 450g
3/4 lb --> x
x = 3/4 * 450 = 337.5
So 3/4 lb = 337.5 g
Adam wants to cook for 14 people and wants to allow 3/4 lb of turkey for each person, so 337.5 for each.
So to know the total mass of the turkey, you multiply the mass for one person by the total number of people:
337.5 * 14 = 4725
So the mass of the turkey for 14 people is 4725g, or 10.5 lb (3/4 * 14)
Hope this Helps! :)
